Weekend Watch: August 10-12

Since Carolina athletics are out of season right now, this page has become sort of 'What Turner's InstaPapered This Week.' I hope that's OK. We'll be back to regularly scheduled programming soon enough.

So, the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics are Sunday night. Are you Olympics-ed out? Want more? Personally, I think I'm ready for a break. These summer games have brought some great sport (albeit tape-delayed), but it's been kind of stressful to keep up with everything going on. And is it just me, or does it seem like there has been diving every single night? Must be a proven time-filler while NBC is busy manufacturing drama.

Li'l McKayla Maroney has inspired her very own meme, McKayla is Not Impressed. Click through for some good Photoshop work.

Carolina Athletics

This CBSSports.com survey of college basketball coaches says Roy Williams is the most overrated coach in America. Here's my question. How are they defining 'overrated.' In order for something to be 'overrated,' it has to be 'rated.' Since there's no AP poll ranking coaches week to week, how can you say an individual coach is overrated? Is it, "Dick Vitale likes this guy, and I don't"? I don't get it. But anyway, Mike DeCourcy responds on Roy's behalf, calling him the best coach ever at North Carolina.

Running backs coach (and former Tar Heel) Randy Jordan was mic'd up at practice this week.

CNN afternoon host (and Carolina alumna) Brooke Baldwin filled in on mornings this week. She snuck into Piers Morgan's office and gave him a nice surprise.

If you watch Louie on FX, you know that Louis C.K. is on top of the comedy world right now. Each episode of his show is like a brilliant short film. While this, the third season has been (in my opinion) a little more uneven than last year, it's still great television. For a taste, here's a deleted scene that teaches a lesson we all should learn: how to apologize. Warning: some mild language here.

That's all from me today. Adam will have the Weekend Wrap on Monday. In the meantime, post your comments below and follow TarHeelMonthly and me on Twitter.
